Storing Your #Cushions - a great blog article by Sunbrella

Storing your cushions for the winter

Summer is over and the cooler weather is moving in.  Once you’ve decided  your outdoor furniture season is over, we suggest some tips for storing your Sunbrella cushions for the winter.
  • Clean your cushions according to the instructions found on the Sunbrella Website.  Make sure cushions are completely dry before you store them.
  • Be sure to store in a clean, dry environment.
  • Cover or bag cushions to prevent dust and dirt from settling on cushions while they’re in storage.  Also, rodents do not consider acrylic fiber a  source of food, but would gladly use it to nest if allowed to do so.  Covering/bagging your cushions will help to keep them away.
  • Be sure not to store heavy items on top of any cushions.  Although it may not damage the fabric, it could compress the filling so that it doesn’t recover, leaving permanent or long-lasting indentations.
Before we know it, the summer months will be here again, and it will be time to bring your Sunbrella cushions back out from their winter hibernation!

"The history of the Sunbrella brand is the story of a revolutionary product changing every market it touches. After its introduction for awnings, the marine industry soon discovered Sunbrella fabrics and adopted them as the gold standard for boating.  As with awnings, boaters had historically relied on cotton canvas, which was no match for salt, sun and sea. Sunbrella marine fabrics assured years of carefree service.  
Outdoor and casual furniture was the next market segment to benefit from Sunbrella fabrics beginning in the early 1980s. For many years, cotton and vinyl had been the only options for outdoor furniture. Cotton had a limited lifespan and anyone who has sat on a hot vinyl cushion can attest to its limitations. Sunbrella offered the best of all worlds – beauty, durability and comfort.  The newest segment benefiting from the Sunbrella brand is interior furnishings, residential and commercial. Inside the home, Sunbrella fabrics are being used for upholstery, window treatments and top-of-bed, resulting in beautiful, carefree home interiors. Glen Raven is also expanding in commercial markets with Sunbrella fabrics styled for hotel, resort and office applications. 
Sunbrella fabrics are also a mainstay of the automotive industry, gracing convertible tops of the leading vehicle nameplates.  In addition to its expansion in multiple market segments, the Sunbrella brand has grown globally. Mariners all around the globe ask for Sunbrella fabrics by name, and Glen Raven’s French subsidiary, Dickson-Constant, has developed Sunbrella lines styled for European tastes."  Excerpt from the 50th Anniversary Article in Raven Issue No.11.
